			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January 20: Join Pussy and Pooch for their monthly mixer and enjoy special treats, toasts, and plenty of in-store tail-wagging. This month it&#8217;s a Winter Wonderland with sips of cocoa, hot toddies, and nibbles of dessert bites for humans, and hearty, Merrick Shepherd&#8217;s Pie samples for canines! It may be chilly and rainy outside, but will be a toasty indoor play date for your pooch. Mutt Mingles are a great way for your dog to learn valuable social skills. It’s a chance for them to experience and interact in a social setting with food, drink and plenty of other distractions.<em> </em>It’s important for your dog to learn how to behave around other dogs and people, and dog parks or beaches can be very intimidating. Our monthly Mutt Mingles provide for a very comfortable setting and fun atmosphere to get your pet socialized. Friday, 6-8 p.m. Free. Pussy &amp; Pooch, 4818 Second St., Long Beach. (562) 434-7700. <a href="http://www.pussyandpooch.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.pussyandpooch.com/?referer=');">www.pussyandpooch.com</a></p>

<p>Providing shelter, re-homing assistance, and funds for medical treatment for more than 100 bulldogs each year. Hundreds of bulldogs are lost, abandoned, taken to animal shelters, or surrendered to the rescue every year from animal shelters, other rescue groups, and owners who wish to surrender their purebreds. Buyers are initially intrigued by the bulldog&#8217;s many charms, only later to discover the special care that may come with their wrinkles, &#8220;pushed in&#8221; faces, unusual structure, and, in some cases, genetic faults from irresponsible breeding. The network consists of many volunteers who foster, perform home checks, transport, and place bulldogs. The group helps bulldogs find suitable homes; during the last five years, more than 400 bulldogs have been placed through rescue with them. SCBR relies entirely on donations for support.</p>

<p>The Cat Wheel Company distributes the cat exercise wheel to keep your indoor pets safe and healthy with plenty of exercise. This cat exercise wheel has a 43-inch diameter and has a 10-inch wide running tread. Made from strong lightweight recycled plastic, it spins smoothly on a tuned dual ball bearing axle. Their Toy-Go-Round Cat Wheel keeps your cat fit and healthy by offering a unique opportunity for indoor exercise. Since the cat wheel can be used indoors, it ensures that you gets his or her regular quota of exercise every day even if you are unable to go out due to bad weather, etc. The cat wheel has been found to curb the aggressiveness as it provides a medium for your pet to release extra energy through exercise.

Over one million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized simply because there are not enough homes. The simplest act a pet owner can take to reduce pet overpopulation is to spay or neuter their pet. The California Pet Lover’s License Plate will provide a large scale, permanent funding source for spay and neuter programs. These free and low-cost programs are desperately needed to help address the unnecessary killing of so many dogs and cats in California. The plate declares “Spay &amp; Neuter Saves Lives,” reminding other drivers to do their part in the fight against pet overpopulation.</p>

<p>Voted “Best Bird Store in OC” by Petsguide, Fran helps to educate and encourage her clients to care for and love their feathered family members in the best way they can. Fran prides herself on offering a wide assortment of domestic, hand-raised babies to choose from. Fran is also dedicated to finding suitable homes for older birds that are in need of a new home. Previously-owned birds often adapt easily to a new owner, and are more affordable than a baby bird. In addition to finding a special new pet, at Exotic Birds by Fran you can also schedule a grooming appointment, or make boarding reservations for your feathered friends while you are away. Whether you are looking for the latest tasty treat for your bird, or a new spacious powder-coated cage or play tree, you can find it at Exotic Birds by Fran. While you are there you are likely to meet a cuddly Cockatoo, crazy Caique, or an amazing African Grey. Every visit to Fran’s is likely to bring a different encounter; even if you did just stop by for some food. Fran also offers home grooming appointments and in-home consultations.</p>
